A new study has found that older adults with vitamin D deficiency have higher levels of inflammation, which is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, and dementia. The study suggests that vitamin D supplements may help reduce the risk of these diseases by decreasing inflammation. Vitamin D deficiency is common worldwide, and supplementation is recommended for older adults. However, it is important to combine vitamin D supplementation with a healthy lifestyle, including physical activity, sleep, non-smoking, and healthy nutrition choices, for the best risk reduction.

Discovery of Thousands of New Viruses in Baby Diapers

Scientists in Denmark have found 10,000 new viruses in baby diapers, many of which have never been identified before. The study aims to identify causes of chronic inflammatory diseases such as asthma, eczema, and allergies. The researchers will examine diapers from when the babies were 1 week and 1 month old to see if the 10,000 virus types were present at those young ages. The children in the study will continue to contribute information, and the researchers will keep watching for connections between the gut and serious diseases.
